Classes resumed at Umpqua Community College this morning, and as students made their way to school buildings, they were greeted by Gov. Kate Brown and hundreds of well-wishers. Classes at the Roseburg, Ore., campus had been suspended since the Oct. 1 shooting that left nine victims dead.

The attack came on the first week of classes at Umpqua; this past weekend, families and loved ones held memorial services and funerals for many of the victims of the shooting.

From Jefferson Public Radio, Liam Moriarty reports for our Newscast unit:


Kathleen Flynn, the minister of the Unity of Roseburg church, tells local newspaper 

 that the town isn't finished talking about the attack, as its residents cope with their losses.
"Ever since this happened, one of the biggest concerns I've heard is, 'I feel grief. Am I entitled? I'm not directly connected,' " Flynn told her congregation Sunday. "How can we not be connected? This is our community."  Copyright 2019 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
